Game Summary
Arizona defeated Kansas City 5-3 in 11 innings. The Diamondbacks prevailed thanks to clutch extra-inning offense — Lourdes Gurriel Jr.’s go-ahead triple in the 11th and Ketel Marte’s sacrifice fly pushed Arizona ahead — and timely work from a lineup led by Tim Tawa (3-for-5, HR, 2 RBI) and Marte (1 RBI, 2 BB). Tawa also delivered an RBI single in the 10th to spark the late rally. Relief pitching was key: Blake Walston took the win despite allowing one unearned run over two innings, Corbin Burnes tossed three scoreless frames, and Dennis Santana struck out three in a perfect inning as the bullpen closed out Kansas City in extras.
